Don't bother -- get another brand of ladybug punch! Apr 25, 2014
By ladybug53This is such a disappointment!! Really a waste of money. I'm shocked the Martha Stewart quality control crew gave this a pass. The paper gets stuck in the puncher after punching it. Then, to add insult to injury, the ladybug has to be pulled or cut off in two! different places....the 2 sides... after you finally wrestle it out of the punch, to be a finished product. So inefficient! See other reviews, they say the same thing.

Too many steps to take on what *should* be zipzipdone.

On the other hand, the Martha Stewart large monarch butterfly punch I bought the same week is flawless, gorgeous and drama free.

Does not punch all the way through Mar 21, 2013
By Christine F. QualeyPlease note that, although I did not purchase this punch through Amazon, the punch is disappointing because it does not punch all the way through. The only way to get a full ladybug punch-out is to use embroidery scissors to cut it loose from the paper, defeating the purpose of the punch. I have experienced this with other double punches (snowflake, pumpkin, jack-o-lantern) marketed by Martha Stewart. I like the look of the owl punch but would be disinclined to buy it due to the aforementioned problem.

Not that bad Oct 05, 2013
By C.P.I see there is a two star review on here. I do agree that the ladybug doesn't punch all the way through, however, I'm just using regular scrap booking paper and a little thicker paper and I just use a little force as I'm pulling it away from the paper and it comes off clean almost every time. This is a cute punch.

Disappointing punch Jun 20, 2014
By AuntMargieThis is one of two paper punches I own (out of nearly 100) that doesn't work.The bug body never completely cuts through the paper. I have to cut it free from the sheet. And the antennae are hopeless. By the time i cut them free, I've lost interest in the project I'm making.I have the Martha Stewart owl embossed punch. It is the same shape and size as this and it has additional embossing feature. It works perfectly. This one is just terrible.
